Russian Baroque architecture

Russian Baroque architecture, flourishing in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is characterized by elaborate ornamentation, vibrant colors, and intricate details. It combines traditional Russian church designs with Western European Baroque elements such as dramatic shapes, grand facades, and decorative stucco work. This style often features onion domes, gilding, and ornate iconostasis interiors, creating a sense of opulence and spiritual grandeur. Russian Baroque reflects a period of cultural revival and imperial ambition, blending local traditions with European artistic influences to produce visually stunning religious and civic buildings.
